Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Totem Pole

St. Regis Yalong Bay Resort is a top choice, just a 5-minute walk from the totem pole. The resort features private beach access, an infinity pool, and design elements inspired by Li ethnic culture, including traditional totem art in the lobby. Guests enjoy panoramic ocean views and nightly light shows at the square, blending tropical rainforest and seaside ambiance. Complimentary shuttle service to Sanya City Center ensures seamless travel.

Yes! Join the Li Ethnic Cultural Workshop hosted at the adjacent intangible heritage center, where families can craft traditional bamboo totem ornaments or learn hand-embroidery techniques. Every Saturday evening features a "Bonfire Night" with indigenous dance performances and interactive games—children can wear traditional costumes and join the festivities. Guided eco-tours along nearby trails showcase rare tropical flora and bird species, offering educational fun for all ages.

The first beach, Yalong Bay Beach One, is just a 3-minute walk directly across from the square’s main entrance. Shaded pathways and clear signage make it ideal for families and seniors. For public transport, catch the free shuttle bus on the east side of the square, reaching major beach entrances within 10 minutes. Luxury hotels like Sheraton Yalong Bay also offer private beach transfers, eliminating walking and enhancing convenience.

At night, the totem pole is illuminated by an interactive LED system projecting dynamic Li ethnic patterns and Hainan nature motifs, synchronized with music to create a living artwork. During festivals, the square hosts themed light shows—such as Mid-Autumn Lantern Festivals and New Year blessings—with fireworks and street performances. Nearby food stalls serve fresh coconut rice and Hainan-style cooling drinks, delivering authentic local atmosphere and vibrant nightlife.

Stay at Marriott Yalong Bay and participate in their "Li Craft Immersion Day," featuring hands-on pottery firing and bamboo weaving workshops. The hotel’s local cuisine restaurant showcases regional ingredients in fusion dishes like coconut-smoked pork and volcanic stone-grilled fish. Daily guided tours at 10 AM explore nearby ancient village ruins, revealing the myths behind the totem carvings and deepening understanding of Hainan’s multicultural heritage.

Absolutely! The giant totem pole at the square’s center is a prime backdrop, especially during golden hour when sunlight enhances its textured carvings. Surrounding reflective pools and relief walls create symmetrical mirror shots. Don’t miss the coconut grove path and vine-covered archway on the west side—ideal for boho-style photos. Wear light-colored clothing to contrast with the dark totem carvings for striking visual impact.

It takes about 25 minutes depending on traffic. Options include taxi (¥60–80), free tourist shuttle buses (every 30 minutes stopping at key attractions), or hotel shuttle services from upscale resorts, which offer direct, comfortable rides with scenic coastal views. Avoid peak hours for smoother travel and better timing.
